Ingredients
  

For the Mix-ins
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced, green and white parts divided
  • 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
  • 7 ounces chicken sausages, chopped Applegate Organics or Whole Foods 365 brand recommended
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups baby spinach
For the Egg Mixture
  • 8 large pasture raised eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese Good Culture Lactose Free recommended
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Topping
  • 1 cup shredded goat cheddar

Equipment

  • Silicone muffin tin
  • Baking sheet
  • Large skillet
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray your muffin tin with avocado oil cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and red bell pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Add the chopped sausage, sea salt, dried oregano, and black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes until the sausage begins to brown. Stir and continue to cook until the sausage is browned on all sides. In the last minute of cooking, add the spinach and toss until just wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Once the mix-ins are cool to the touch, spoon even amounts into the prepared muffin cups.
  5. In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper. Blend until fluffy and pale yellow.
  6. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, being careful not to overfill. Top with the shredded goat cheddar and the green parts of the green onions.
  7. Transfer the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. You may need an additional 2-4 minutes depending on your oven. Allow the egg cups to cool for about 10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
  8. Serve on its own or with a side of fresh berries and sourdough toast.

Notes

To store, allow the egg cups to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for about 5 days. To reheat, use an oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to maintain texture. If reheating from frozen, add an extra 5-7 minutes and loosely cover with foil for the first half of reheating.
